SAFETY INFORMATION

WARNING

For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of

fire, electric shock or personal injury.

Ŷ8VHWKLVDSSOLDQFHRQO\IRULWVLQWHQGHGSXUSRVHDV

described in this Owner’s Manual.

ŶThis air conditioner must be properly installed in

accordance with the Installation Instructions before it is

used.

ŶNever unplug your air conditioner by pulling on the

power cord. Always grip plug firmly and pull straight

out from the receptacle.

ŶReplace immediately all electric service cords that

have become frayed or otherwise damaged. A

damaged power supply cord must be replaced with a

new power supply cord obtained from the manufacturer

and not repaired. Do not use a cord that shows cracks

or abrasion damage along its length or at either the

plug or connector end.

ŶTurn the unit OFF and unplug your air conditioner

before cleaning.

ŶFor your safety…do not store or use combustible

materials, gasoline or other flammable vapors or

liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

ŶAll air conditioners contain refrigerants, which under

federal law must be removed prior to product disposal.

If you are getting rid of an old product with refrigerants,

check with the company handling disposal about what

to do.

ŶIf the receptacle does not match the plug, the

receptacle must be changed out by a qualified

electrician.

ŶThese R410A air conditioning systems require

contractors and technicians to use tools, equipment

and safety standards approved for use with this

refrigerant. DO NOT use equipment certified for R22

refrigerant only.

ŶTo avoid risk of injury or property damage, the air

conditioner should ONLY be serviced by a qualified

servicer.

with this Window Air Conditioner.

HOW TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY

Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third

(ground) prong from the power cord. For personal safety,

this appliance must be properly grounded.

DO NOT use an adapter plug with this appliance.

The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a

3-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a standard

3-prong (grounding) wall outlet to minimize the possibility

of electric shock hazard from this appliance.

Power cord includes a current interrupter device. A

test and reset button is provided on the plug case. The

device should be tested on a periodic basis by first

pressing the TEST button and then the RESET button

while plugged into the outlet. If the TEST button does

not trip or if the RESET button will not stay engaged,

discontinue use of the air conditioner and contact a

qualified service technician.

Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified

electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded.

Where a 2-prong wall outlet is encountered, it is your

personal responsibility and obligation to have it replaced

with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.

The air conditioner should always be plugged into its

own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage rating

that matches the rating plate.

This provides the best performance and also prevents

overloading house wiring circuits which could cause a

fire hazard from overheated wires.

See the Installation Instructions, Electrical

Requirements section for specific electrical connection

requirements.

WARNING

Chemical Burn Hazard. Keep batteries away from children.

ŶIf you think batteries might have been swallowed or

placed inside any part of the body, seek immediate

medical attention.

Care and Cleaning

Grille and Case

Turn the air conditioner off and remove the plug from the

wall outlet before cleaning.

To clean, use water and a mild detergent. Do not use

bleach or abrasives.

Air Filter

The air filter behind the front grille should be checked

and cleaned at least every 30 days or more often if

necessary.

Open the inlet grille by pulling downward on the tabs at

the top upper corners of the inlet grille until the grille is in

a 45º position. Remove the filter.

Clean the filter with warm, soapy water. Rinse and let the

filter dry before replacing it. Do not clean the filter in a

dishwasher.

CAUTION

DO NOT operate the air conditioner

without a filter because dirt and lint will clog it and reduce

performance.

Outdoor Coils

be checked regularly. If they are clogged with dirt or soot,

they may be professionally cleaned.

deje de usar el acondicionador de aire y comuníquese con un técnico

calificado del servicio.

Contrate a un electricista calificado para que controle el

tomacorriente y el circuito eléctrico para asegurar que el enchufe esté

correctamente conectado a tierra.

En caso de contar con un tomacorriente de pared de 2 cables, es su

responsabilidad y obligación reemplazarlo por un tomacorriente de

pared de 3 cables correctamente conectado a tierra.

El acondicionador de aire debería estar siempre conectado a un

enchufe específico con un índice de voltaje equivalente al que figura

en su etiqueta de características técnicas.

Esto garantiza el mejor funcionamiento y además previene la

sobrecarga de los circuitos del hogar, lo cual podría ocasionar riesgos

de incendio debido al recalentamiento de cables.

Para conocer los requisitos específicos de la conexión eléctrica,

consulte las Instrucciones de Instalación, Requisitos Eléctricos.
